Lewis Hamilton is determined to put in the hard work needed to improve his performance at Ferrari, following his recent comments suggesting he should be replaced. In his first season under a £60 million contract with Ferrari, Hamilton has struggled, currently sitting in sixth place in the F1 standings, trailing his teammate Charles Leclerc by 42 points.
The 40-year-old has yet to secure a podium finish in 14 races and has only outperformed Leclerc twice this season. After a disappointing qualifying session at the Hungarian Grand Prix, Hamilton openly criticized himself, expressing frustration with his own performance and hinting at the need for a driver change.
However, with the mid-season break providing a chance for reflection, Hamilton now appears determined and motivated to bounce back. He acknowledges the pressure he faced in the first half of the season but aims to make adjustments in his approach to rediscover enjoyment in racing.
Despite facing criticism, Hamilton has received support from fellow drivers like George Russell, who dismissed the notion that Hamilton should be replaced, emphasizing Hamilton’s status as one of the greatest drivers in F1 history. Fernando Alonso also expressed confidence in Hamilton’s ability to regain top form and highlighted the enduring respect for the Hamilton-Ferrari partnership.
